Aluminum body and barrel..400 psi, etc etc. Solid neoprene piston, 2.5mm b ore.

It still needs a cap, grip etc to finish it off, but it works well.

You wouldn't belive the lengths I went to so I could see that picture.

Worth it for the lulz.

Can't see the videos, 2GB wireless broadband ain't great for videos.

Knowing your work inonickname, I've no doubts that it is quite impressive,

Also Ragnarok, I like your doubling up of words with tautlogy in your sig.

[edit]

[peeved tone] And now the damn pic works!![peeved tone/]

I've added a clear grip and a cap to it. I'll probably post pictures tomorrow.

Firing is 100% reliable and it held 400 psi for 10 minutes with ~0 psi drop. It could probably be stored in your pants pocket for half a day then fired, but no need tempt fate.

For anyone who has problems with penguns..keep at it, they work eventually.

Yep, I made my first working pengun today as well! But mine is held together with hot glue, has a barrel way too narrow to fit any decent projectile, and runs at 150psi. Oh, and did I mention it's ugly as sin? :D

Ah. A hotlink blocked link. It's hard to spot those, as they load from cache when you post them, but they won't for other people. Short of a hard refresh each time you post images, it usually gets missed.

*moves it to own Photobucket account* :twisted:

Song lyric, as a good proportion of my signatures are. (The song is "Maria", by Blondie - I make no apologies for my musical tastes.)

As the great Gippeto once said, Viva la revolucion!. Looking pretty slick inon, although the firing cap might look better and stealthier if it was painted.

Indeed :) if it wasn't for the pesky laws in epoxyland I'd be making and selling these things like hotcakes!
